How can you date Woody Allen and Warren Beatty in the same life?

Daughter is 29 and son is 25. Plenty of people have parents who died when they were younger than those ages!

While that’s true, it’s also true that it’s young overall to lose their parents. It’s not a competition of who had it worse. It’s totally appropriate for someone to feel bad for her kids in a thread about Diane Keaton’s young adult children.

Sure it's sad but, they are over 18 and had a great life with Diane, I'm sure. One should always think of other people to put things into perspective. My dad died when i was 14.

My mom died when I was 24 and it absolutely gutted me. I dont think we need to play the who had it worse game and no it is not necessary to put things into perspective to compare grief. Losing a parent sucks

That's your opinion but I have my opinion too and I have ever right to feel as I do. I am not saying it isn't sad or they aren't gutted. I'm not even saying it is a competition. I am saying they are much better off than they would have been if they had been under 18! And I have the right to my thoughts so fine if you disagree but I am not changing my mind!!!!

No, they are not better off since they are over 18.

It is better this age than 5 and 10. Are you like this in real life? Lacking critical thinking skills?

You are wrong.

NP. Losing a parent when you are under 18 is seen as more difficult and more tragic because you are still a child, dependent on adults, and didn’t get as long to get to know your parent and make memories. Longer time you get with your parent = more love, more memories.

I fear this is common sense my friend. Cant believe im explaining something so basic.

RIP Diane.

No.

Hard to argue with your well thought out reasoning. Good thing there are studies on this.

Younger loss = higher long-term risk for depression, anxiety, and relational instability (Harvard Bereavement Study, 2017).

Adult loss = higher short-term existential distress, but generally better coping capacity due to developed support systems and cognitive maturity (Journal of Loss and Trauma, 2021).

The children are adopted, so one or both might have contact with respective bio families, thus not completely alone.

RIP

Apparently the health decline was sudden.

All parental loss is equally bad.

You lack empathy. I’m sorry that the loss of your father at a young age has made it difficult for you to understand that others, while older, might feel the loss of a parent deeply too. So much so that you find it necessary to keep doubling down on your opinion here.

Disagree. Losing your parents once you’re older, especially when you’re over 40 is nothing compared to losing your parent when you’re under 18. And at even older ages, I have been to many joyous funerals for older people and their kids are happy that their parents are no longer in pain or suffering.

I will always remember that beautiful baby, Elizabeth.

NP. Me as well! And all the jars of applesauce. I wonder why that particular movie made such an impression on so many of us?

So sad to see this. I loved her in First Wives Club and Father of the Bride.

I thought she was at least a decade younger >> she always seemed so much younger.

Another fan here! I just re-watched it this summer with my 10 year old DD. I was worried that it wouldn’t have held up but it was even more delightful than I remembered.

Putting Mr. Goodbar on my list next.

Yes!! Adored this movie!!!

Iconic as Kay in the Godfather movies.
Loved her.

Loved her movies, and that she seemed to be herself in cookie cutter Hollywood. I also feel sad for her children.
